Hms Penshurst (Q 7)

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Hms Penshurst (Q 7) as Wreck from the Ôl-ganoloesol period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

HMS Penshurst (Q7) was a British minesweeper lost in 1940 during World War II after striking a magnetic mine off the coast of Wales. The vessel sank rapidly, resulting in the deaths of all 13 crew members; it holds significance as a wartime casualty reflecting the dangers faced during the Battle of the Atlantic.
